Rosas Balcony 2009

Amazing balcony you have there wow! I see wht you mean now how well your climbers grow in pots (you replied to my post). I love all your ornaments and bits and pieces and those elephants r gorgeous.

 

Hi Rosa I posted a pic of my little fairy corner in my album.
I got confused when you said "Kath you and your sister can come over because I am Kath and I have a sister :lollol:

 

thanks girliecook for the wonderful comments pleased you like my things just makes the place interesting, the wind is teribble up here tonight one of my baskets with herbs fell on floor and all the soil fell out so i guess the seeds are all over as they hadnt grown, just have to hope nothing else gets destroyed out there tonight.
flying free will take a look i guess theres a few kaths here in gc its kathy3 i answered to

 

Hi Rosa, what a shame that the wind caught your basket. I have had this happen with pots in my plastic greenhouse [just happened with my sweetpea seeds] but I scoop the earth up, pop it back and hope for the best. The only problem is they were all labelled up, now I don't know what went back in each pot. Oh well, all part of the fun.
Can you try putting it all back and see what happens? I have to say I get quite upset when I lose seeds or plants.

 

hi flyingfree ive put all the compost back in the planter will just have to wait and see what happens, i went to morrisons and also went to au naturale and bought these few things for my balcony, the boot i put my lillies in it, was talking to a lady in morrisons she advised me to buy it as it was only £5 and she said she bought the same one at peter barratts and paid £15 so i got a bargain and its quite large

 

You did get a bargain. I will have a good look in Morrisons later and no doubt will come away with lots. :dh:
Love the little chimenea with the candle. You have put so much effort into your balcony. It looks like a little oasis of calm.
I will have to post more pics of my little quirky bits. People tend to buy me garden bits for birthdays so I accumulate a lot

With luck your seeds will all recover.

 

flyingfree thanks the chiminea with candle was only £3 at morrisons all the other bits were from au naturale the lanterns they are battery operated look great on, that hen mobile i didnt buy here bought that in thailand, the welcome sign was from au naturale, think ive got enough things now out there it does look nice when sitting out there.
will let you know how my seeds come on in my herb basket at least my lettuce basket is ok

 

Hi Rosa, just got back from Morrisons and they were doing trays of plants £1.79 each or 3 for £3 so I got 3, nicotiana, two of mixed geraniums and two pots sweet peas.
You could try sweetpeas in a pot, the dwarf sweetpeas are nice.

 

hi flying free, bought some plants the other weeks from morrisons, did you see their garden bits also and i have trailing sweetpeas in my hanging baskets they are just starting to grow.

 

Hi Rosa, OH was with me so didn't get too long to look :dh:

I have seen the garden section, they are quite reasonable on their prices I feel. These plants today were good at £1 for 6 established, healthy plants. I have the snivels and don't feel like doing much but will try to get them out tomorrow. We will have to show photos of the sweetpeas :hehe:

 

flyingfree i know what you mean, i like to go either on my own or with my g/f that way we can have a good look around haha, when the sweetpeas start to grow and flower will take pics, im off to wilkinsons tommorow i have a gate inbetween me and my neighbours balcony and wood area to have a private area on balcony and above gate its open so i put a wood blind and the wind is horific its blowing it teribble so im going to buy something better and nail it to stop the wind will also make it more private, i only did that cos there has to be access between us for emergencys so im going to leave a small gap above the gate to gain access
